This is my mom's book containing over 110 of her popular, yummy recipes. My husband and I basically live off of these and more from her site, TurkishCookbook.com. I highly recommend this to anyone who's especially new to cooking (most are very easy to prepare) and/or interested in trying Turkish cuisine.

Also don't be worried that you won't be able to find the ingredients in North America, my mom has adapted her recipes to what you can find at local stores here.

I really enjoy Mediterranean dishes, but I've found that while there are entire shelves worth of greek, italian, and middle eastern cookbooks, I have never come across a source with more than a few authentically Turkish recipes. This book has over 100 dishes suitable for entrées, appetizers, lunches, deserts, baked items and more. Most of the recipes are simple and straightforward, and contain lots of healthy ingredients.

Additionally the presentation is excellent, with a vivid picture for every dish. Well worth the price of admission!

My husband is Turkish and I have been wanting to cook Turkish food for him for a while but the dishes I have had just seem that they would take too long to make. One day I was searching for recipes and came across Binnur's Turkish cookbook and the recipes seemed so simple so I decided to buy it. I was a bit dissapointed though when I got it in the mail because I was expecting to get a thicker book for the price I paid for it. Overall I am happy I bought it because the recipes are easy to make and my husband likes the food!

This cookbook has a variety of everyday recipes that are super easy to follow. What I like best is that they all have fewer than 10 ingredients, which you can find in any grocery store.

I also have Sultan's Kitchen by Ozcan Ozan. It has delicious recipes, but it takes time to get together all the ingredients for those so I use it for special occasions. Binnur hanim's book is good for everyday use. She also has a website with loads more recipes you can access for free.

Some reviewers complained about the price, but as far as I can tell, this is a self-published cookbook. For me, that's a plus. I think it's nice to support independent authors and the book is good quality.

This is a wonderful series of recipes you can use everyday. I have other Turkish cookbooks that I enjoy. However, this is the Turkish cookbook I find most useful.The ingredients are not hard to find. The recipes are delicious and easy to cook. And the author's blog is tops!

I am Syrian and love cooking traditional meals from my home town Aleppo, that is largely inspired by the Turkish cuisine.
Binnur's recipes have guided me to the authentical taste from our mothers and grandmothers excellent dishes.

I found in Binnur's on-line cookbook all the hints I was looking for when preparing my meals plus new ideas and recipes that enriched my table and wowed my family and friends.

Binnur's cookbook is like her, all the delicacy and excquisiteness of Turkey!!

I found Binnur's Turkish Cookbook online originally and when I found out that she had a cookbook, I ordered it immidiately. Unfortunately many of the recipes she has online are not in the cookbook, which was a bit of a dissapointment, but I'm still happy with my purchase.

I have been looking for a Turkish cookbook that was easy to utilize and had American kitchen friendly recipes! This book is exactly what I was looking for. My husband is turkish and I can now create some of his favorite foods! Thank you for writing this cookbook. Shipping was really fast as well!

My wife and I love Turkish food, so this book will help. Great recipes!

extremely good cook book. instructions clear and easy to follow, I look foward to trying some of the interesting recipes.
